Head into Dave Hinde's, he has loads of Shimano wheels. I'd definitely get pair of RS80s - incredible wheels and you'll have spare change too.

if you're after decent wheels, you may want to chack out Planet X ?

excellent service and really decent to deal with (I'm not on commission!).

I have some Carbon tub rims on and they're extremely responsive..

ye ive looked at there carbon ones i just dont want to go ahead and buy carbon ones for racing just yet cos i have a feeling that mine are going to give up on me soon and nowadays its just as cheep to buy whole new wheels than buying new hubs and getting them rebuilt. but ill still have a look cos they might have some aluminium ones.

If you're after some RS80's then checkout Merlin cycles. They've an additional 10% off this weekend so they work out at £283.46, or see if Hindey will match their price?
